Protocols on the WWW
http://www.almac.net/a/gate/protocols.html
This major Jump Station (directory) of a large number of sites provides on-line
protocols and techniques in biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology,
genetics, and cell biology. As well as providing links to the protocol sites,
it lists the methods, techniques, and recipes provided by each of the sites.
This is a good starting point for anyone looking for a specific protocol.
It also includes links to other sites of interest to investigators.
Also on this site:
Mark Strom's Molecular Biology Protocols
http://research.nwfsc.noaa.gov/protocols.html
This excellent collection of molecular biology protocols includes
useful Methods Forum where you can submit tips, techniques, questions, and
comments; a Bioinformatics section; and a list of on-line journals. The methods
are nicely organized into sections, including a section on computer analysis
of data. There are numerous methods on DNA purification, transformation,
library preparation, sequencing, ogligonucleotides, PCR, and
electrophoresis.
Brendan Babb's Collection of Protocols and Recipes
http://www.uct.ac.za/depts/mmi/bbhelp/int.html
This is a comprehensive collection of bacterial, protein, and molecular
biology techniques, recipes, and protocols. In addition to the large collection
of bacterial methods, DNA and RNA protocols, protein and PCR techniques,
this site hosts avery useful set of recipes for general and specific laboratory
solutions and buffers. These are arranged in alphabetical order from acrylamide
to zinc sulfate.
David Bowtell's Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology Protocols
http://grimwade.biochem.unimelb.edu.au/sigtrans.html
Another great collection of protocols on the web, this contains protocols
in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology. It also includes DNA
isolation, Southern/Northern blot, in situ hybridization, sequencing,
phage purification, PCR, and a collection of yeast protocols.
Jim Brown's Molecular Biology Materials and Methods
gopher://ftp.bio.indiana.edu:70/1m/Molecular-Biology/Materials+Methods
This is the gopher version of Jim Brown's excellent Hypercard stock
of common molecular biology laboratory protocols. It contains protocols for
sequencing, colony lifts, plasmid isolation, footprinting, end-labeling,
hybridization, nick translation, and litigation. Also included are more specific
methods on the culture and fermentation of methanogens.
Bruce A. Roe's Molecular Biology Methods
http://dna1.chem.uoknor.edu/protokol_book/protocol_index.html
This is a useful manual of many of the everyday methods used in the
average molecular biology laboratory, with emphasis on the techniques for
large-scale DNA sequencing protocols and DNA sequencing automation
techniques.
Ambros Lab Protocol Collection
http://www.dartmouth.edu/artsci/bio/ambros/protocols/worm_protocols.html
A comprehensive collection of nematode-related protocols and information,
this site includes general methods, equipment, microinjection, staining,
dauer protocols, mutants, and drugs. This is a valuable resource for anyone
working in this area.
University of Maryland Applied Molecular Biology
http://umbc7.umbc.edu/~jwolf/method1.html
General laboratory methods and computer guide. General section includes
tips on safety procedures, preparation of buffers and solutions, disposal
of chemicals, using a pH meter, working with DNA, and sterile technique.
There is a section on keeping laboratory notebooks and a computer user's
guide. Although written specifically for the University of Maryland, much
of the information provided is generally relevant.
Promega
http://www.promega.com/techdoc.html
As well as details of their products, Promega's web site contains
much general data which are of use to scientists. Many vector sequences are
available for on-line viewing and as text files which can be downloaded.
There are also technical data on subjects such as molecular biology, cell
biology, neuroscience, and genetic analysis.
Sigma Chemical Co.
http://www.sigma.sial.com
This site provides information on chemicals, equipment, books, and
literature from one of the major laboratory suppliers as well as information
on SAF bulk chemicals, Aldrich, Fluka, and Supelco. An additional WWW page
at the Sigma site (URL: http://www.sigma.sial.com/sigma/estcst3.htm) lists
a wide range of other technical web sites, including virtual library resources,
enzymes, proteins, molecular modeling, scientific publishers, and a useful
section entitled "Safety and Environment."
Internet for the Molecular Biologist
http://www.ifrn.bbsrc.ac.uk/gm/lab/docs/iftmb.html
This page introduces some of the Internet resources that are of use to researchers working in molecular biology, microbiology, and genetics. Given the breadth of this field, and the rate at which Internet resources grow and change, this cannot be a comprehensive review; the aim is simply to give sufficient information to get new useres familiar with the key resources. The main resources described here offer on-line guides and help documentation that are updated with each improvement to the service offered. Here you will find information on all aspects of the internet (WWW, ftp, gopher, databases, e-mail, newsgroups, etc.) as they relate to molecular biology and other life sciences.
